“You know, I've been involved in drugs for About Years from then on and I nearly, you know, I nearly lost everything, you know, because in the midst of all this, you had a child.”
In the heart-wrenching debut episode of 'The Two Norries Podcast', Timmy Long opens up about his tumultuous journey through childhood trauma, drug addiction, and crime. Co-hosted by James Leonard, this episode dives deep into Timmy's early life, marked by violence and bullying, and how these experiences led him down a dark path.
Timmy recalls finding temporary solace in hobbies like football and tinkering with bikes, but the emotional scars from his upbringing pushed him towards substance abuse, starting with solvents and escalating to harder drugs. His candid account reveals the 20-year battle with addiction that nearly cost him everything, including his child. But this isn't just a story of struggle; it's one of resilience and hope. Timmy emphasizes the crucial role of support in his recovery journey.
From mentors to AA facilitators in prison, the right people at the right time helped him turn his life around. This episode underscores the profound impact of childhood trauma on mental health and the necessity of a robust support system for recovery. It's a compelling listen for anyone interested in addiction, recovery, and personal growth.
